Usage

Can be used by other mods to create modify units by adding XComRedefineUnits.ini to the mod config.
Can be used by anyone willing to tweak his game even more.

Examples:
Those are examples with vanilla enemies
[RedefineUnits.OPTC_Characters] +Characters=(TemplateName=Gatekeeper, IsWeakToBluescreen=true) +Characters=(GroupName=Gatekeeper, IsWeakToBluescreen=true) +Characters=(TemplateName=Sectoid, IsPsionic=true) +Characters=(TemplateName=ArchonKing, IsHiddenFromShadowChamber=true) +Characters=(TemplateName=Archon, IsImmueToFalling=true) +Characters=(TemplateName=AdvMEC_M1, IsRobotic=true)
  • Gatekeeper is not Robotic but is weak against Tech (Bluescreen, EMP).
  • All Characters from Gatekeeper group are not weak against Tech (Bluescreen, EMP).
  • Sectoid is a Psionic unit.
  • Archon King will not show in the Shadow Chamber informations.
  • Archon won't take damage from falling.
  • MEC is a Robotic unit and can be hacked.

Compatibility
It should be compatible with everything.

Mod not working? Mods still have their effects after you disable them?

Fixed. Thank you

Good call on the log. Looks like the example you provide in the Customize Stats discussion is wrong. It should be StatModifiers with an s at the end. Things are working as expected now, appreciate it.

I don't see anything wrong. Are you seeing the change being applied in the logs?
Kemui⊗52 Nov 4, 2022 @ 7:59pm 
I'm trying to use multiplayer variants of aliens, and I want to buff their health to their tier 3 counterparts. However, I can't get their stats to change. Is there something wrong with this line? I've isolated the mod and tried the RunOrder thing, but it still never works.

+Characters=(TemplateName=AdvTrooperMP, StatModifier=((Stat=eStat_HP, Set=8)))

If two mods change the same template with the same method (and the same values) you will only see the effect from one.
Fortunately we now have some kind of control over that with the Highlander.
In XComGame.ini copy this:

[RedefineUnits CHDLCRunOrder]
RunPriorityGroup=RUN_LAST

If it's not enough you will have to find the mod that is causing you trouble.

Just tested it in Skirmish. It seems that another mod is interfering. Because when I deactivated everything else it worked.

@Qurila,
Should be good. I'm not sure if it will apply on ongoing mission. Better use Skirmish in those cases.

I'm trying to count Sectoids as Humanoids so Justice will work on them. Only it's not working for them yet.
I've been inputting:

[RedefineUnits.OPTC_Characters]
+Characters=(GroupName=Sectoid, IsHumanoid=true)
+Characters=(TemplateName=Sectoid, IsHumanoid=true)

I'm testing it in an ongoing mission (but have also called up new units via ConsoleCommand) Will the changes not be applied in this case?

@Boundir Thanks for the update! Now the aliens in RealityMachina's playable aliens mod can actually count as, well, aliens.

@Kiruka
Good one 👍
Will add IsAlien and IsHumanoid for the next update.
